Test.hs:6:8: error:
    • The exact Name ‘a’ is not in scope
        Probable cause: you used a unique Template Haskell name (NameU),
        perhaps via newName, but did not bind it
        If that's it, then -ddump-splices might be useful
    • In the result of the splice:
        $foo
      To see what the splice expanded to, use -ddump-splices
      In the Template Haskell splice $$(foo)
      In the expression: $$(foo)
